Abstract
The bifurcated peritoneal catheter serves as a peritoneal dialysis device for patients with kidney failure. The catheter includes a primary tube with two porous internal tubes extending therefrom at a small acute angle to one another. The two internal tubes provide a solution to the potential problem of blockage in a single catheter tube, greatly reducing the potential need for surgery to remove and replace such a single catheter tube. The bifurcated peritoneal catheter includes a subcutaneous cuff, and can include a second deep cuff in the abdominal wall. Either or both of the internal tubes can be straight, curved or coiled, with the curvatures and coils oriented in the same direction, toward one another, or away from one another.
